The conference is the premiere global forum on nuclear reactor technology where nuclear professionals gather to discuss industry trends. It is hosted by three leading international societies, including the Nuclear Engineering Division of The American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME), The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) and the Chinese Nuclear Society (CNS).

Professionals from government, academia and industry have the opportunity to discuss innovative technical issues and solutions to address challenges that the global nuclear community faces. The ICONE also has a student program that supports the development of future generations of nuclear professionals.
